BIG NEWS!!!

I am going to go to Tanzania to meet one of my sponsored children!

I heard about the upcoming Compassion International Advocate Tour last summer and wanted to go immediately. I worried about all of the details and thought it just couldn't happen. When the itinerary came out, my husband suggested we use some Frequent Flier Miles that were essentially unusable for anything else. I looked into it and was pleasantly surprised that it would work! But there was a small problem of fronting the deposit on such short notice.

I prayed about it and talked it over with David and we started plotting about how we could put the money together quickly. This past Saturday, I told my small group at church about it and they offered it up as a prayer request. On Sunday morning just before church, my hometeam leader approached me to tell me that the hometeam had come together to cover my deposit!

I was so touched and blessed. I burst into tears!

I will be traveling to Tanzania on July 17th and staying for 10 days. I still have some financial details to work out and would like prayers for that. But the hard part - taking the leap, deciding to go and letting God handle the details is done!

I will be meeting our sponsored child, Sara Reuben Kelele. She is 17 years old is wonderful young lady.
